Ex-Man Utd defender Cathcart tells Blackpool teammates: Just enjoy it

Former Manchester United defender Craig Cathcart has urged his new Blackpool teammates to keep the club's spirit intact - no matter what happens this season.

After their surprise promotion last term, Holloway has promised Blackpool will play attacking football in their first Barclays Premier League campaign - which begins with Saturday's trip to Wigan - and Cathcart feels it will be important for the Tangerines to enjoy themselves if they are to defy the odds again and stay up.

"There is no pressure on us and we are the underdogs again, like Blackpool were last season," Cathcart said.

"You saw what happened last year where there was no pressure on the team - enjoy your football and you never know what can happen.

"The target for me is the same as for everybody that will be playing with me - to keep this team in the Premier League and hopefully kick on from there."
